To Russia with Robert Frost

By John Walters on Tuesday, August 7, 2001.

In 1962, near the end of his life, the great poet made a journey to the Soviet Union. A young scholar named F.D. Reeve went along, to help with translation and logistics. Reeve sat in on a private meeting between Frost and Soviet leader Khruschev. Reeve's book about the trip, Robert Frost in Russia, has just been re-issued.
